our mission

dormsyde is a student-built platform designed to help Australian uni students easily find collaborators, co-founders, and teammates for their projects, startups, or competitions.

🔍 the problem:

finding collaborators is frustrating:

• people rely on random group chats, societies, or vague google forms
• talented students miss out on building something great just because they don't know who's looking

💡 the solution:

dormsyde is a central, beautiful, lightweight platform where students can:

• ✅ post a project and describe who they're looking for
• ✅ browse projects by role, faculty, or interest
• ✅ connect directly via email to join exciting ideas

🔧 key features:

• 📝 project submission (via simple forms)
• 💡 live project board with real-time filtering
• 🔍 search by keywords, roles, or faculty
• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 detailed project pages with contact info
• 📬 simple contact buttons to join projects
• 🎓 focused on australian uni students for local network effects

🎯 who it's for:

• hackathon participants looking to build teams fast
• student founders looking for co-founders or specialists
• societies running events or building internal projects
• anyone with an idea but no one to help build it

📌 current status:

• fully functional demo in development
• launching to select societies for early feedback (july–august 2025)
• open to partnerships with student societies, accelerators, and clubs
